Lookout!

"Everything Thermals

Yeah, everything Thermals, straight from the pages of your journal.

I know nobody's ever seen it, the Thermals know all your secrets.

Yeah, everything Thermals, we're in an outerspace wormhole.

Brought to life by the big bang, traveled to Earth in a Dodge van.

The Thermals go right to your head, the Thermals have sex in your bed.

And everything in circles.

Yeah, everything Thermals. They come in four shades of purple.

Some are tikes, some have trousers. Some have pictures of flowers.

They are the Thermals, they guarantee life eternal.

And only need skin and bones, and a sweet pair of headphones.

The Thermals don't need drugs to have a good time.

The Thermals need drugs just to stay alive.

And everything in circles. Yeah, everything."

This is a tough thread to keep on topic because the parameters strongly limit choices but the temptation to mention personal favroite bands is strong...

The most limiting parameter IMO is "impact", "vocals" is also tough.

OK, I'm prolly gonna blow it, but:

1) Elvis Presley

2) The Beatles

3) Pink Floyd

Only one of those is a personal favorite, BTW.

Metalica was the best band of the 80's period!!!!! They inovated metal


Thats like saying the Bee Gees inovated disco.

As for influencial, Public Enemy should be on the list.
